Title: Method for transmitting data in a blood glucose system and corresponding blood glucose system
Inventor: EBNER MANFRED
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2006-04-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for wireless transmission of data between components of a blood glucose system (1, I1) including a master controller (2, 2') having a receiver (10) and a transmitter (9), and at least one slave device (3) having a receiver (19) and a transmitter (18), and to a corresponding blood glucose system (1, I1) ~ The slave device (3) is normally operated in a power saving mode in which its receiver (19) is only activated intermittently at a receiver activation frequency for a predetermined listening period. The controller (2, 21) transmits a communication initiation data frame to the slave device (3) by means of a signal comprising a preamble signal transmitted for a preamble period. Upon receipt of the communication initiation data frame, the slave device (3) is switched to a communication mode in which it transmits a response to the controller (2, 21), and the slave device (3) is switched from the communication mode to the power saving mode. Initially the receiver activation frequency is set to a first frequency value upon switching from communication mode to power saving mode, and then to a second frequency value smaller than the first frequency value if no communication initiation data frame is received for a predetermined power saving timeout period. The communication initiation data frame is transmitted such that the preamble period exceeds the length of the cycle duration corresponding to the first frequency value, and, in case no response is received by the controller during the response period, the communication initiation data frame is adapted and retransmitted such that the preamble period is increased and exceeds the length of the cycle duration corresponding to the second frequency value.

Inventor: ROY VINCENT
IPC: C12N15/63
Filed: 2007-06-18
Abstract: Diphtheria and Pseudomonas infections are very common worldwide. The toxins involved in the pathogenesis of those diseases act by inactivating the elongation factor-2 (EF-2), therefore blocking protein synthesis and leading to cell death. Diphthamide formation on EF-2 is a prerequisite step in the inactivation of EF-2, and Dph proteins have been identified as modulating this process. The present application concerns Dph2 deletion mutant genes and proteins and their uses in vitro and in vivo.

Title: Burner with means for changing the direction of fuel flow
Inventor: HANSEN JENS PETER
IPC: F23C7/00
Filed: 2007-10-22
Abstract: A description is given of a burner for introducing solid, liquid or gaseous fuel to a burning zone of a kiln, such as a rotary kiln for manufacturing cement clinker or the like, said burner comprising a number of substantially concentric ducts (1, 2, 3), being parallel to the main axis B3 of the burner, for conveying fuel and primary air to nozzle openings, as well as a number of additional ducts (4, 6, 7, 8) for conveying solid, fluid or gaseous fuel to separate nozzle openings, said additional ducts being located in the central part (10) of the burner. The burner is characterized in that it comprises means (4a, 5) for changing the flow direction of the fuel which is introduced via at least one of the additional ducts in the central part (10) of the burner, relative to the main axis B3 of the burner, at least in an ascending direction. This will allow the individual fuel particles to travel in a curved, approximately ballistic path, thereby extending the time they can be maintained in the flame. Another advantage of this configuration of the burner is that the large particles will attain the highest, and hence the longest, path, since the path of the smaller particles will to a greater extent than is the case for the large ones be deflected by the primary air which is injected via the outer annular primary air nozzle which is parallel to the main axis of the burner. Hence it will be possible to achieve a more uniform combustion of all particles, regardless of their size. It will be possible to change the path of the particles by altering the velocity or direction of injection.

Patent CA-2678840-A1 (CA)
Title: Induction heating cooker
Inventor: WATANABE KENJI
IPC: H05B6/12
Filed: 2008-08-13
Abstract: An infrared sensor (26) has an infrared sensing element (26a) provided under a top plate (2) and adapted for sensing the intensity of infrared radiation radiated from a heated object (20) and an amplifying section (26b) for amplifying the signal generated from the infrared sensing element (26a). If the temperature of the object (20) is below a sensing lower-limit temperature, the infrared sensor (26) outputs a substantially constant initial sensing value with respect to the temperature of the object (20). If the temperature of the object (20) is near a control temperature range in which the temperature of the object (20) is controlled by controlling the outputs of the induction heating coils (21a, 21b) by a control unit (29), the infrared sensor (26) outputs a sensing signal whose magnitude increases and whose rate of increase increases as the temperature of the object (20) rises. The control unit (29) has a storage section (29a) for storing the measured initial sensing value. When the increase of the output value of the infrared sensor (26) with respect to the initial sensing value stored in the storage section (29a) is a predetermined value or more, the control unit (29) reduces the outputs of the induction heating coils (21a, 21b) or stops the heating.

Abstract: A composite structure which may form, for example, the skin of an aircraft wing or fuselage comprises a panel (20) and a series of stringers (21-23) bonded to the surface of the panel (20). Each stringer comprises a web (24) extending at right angles to the panel (20) and a pair of flanges (25, 26) which are coplanar with the panel. The web (24) is tapered at the run-out in order to facilitate load transfer from the skin to the stringer, by providing a gradual increase in transverse bending and axial stiffness and relieving local stress concentrations. XA pad (27) protrudes downwardly from the base of the stringer (22) and extends beyond the ends of the web (24) and flanges (25, 26). The pad (27) is embedded in a recess in the panel.

Patent CA-2690169-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TILKE PETER GERHARD
IPC: E21B43/30
Filed: 2010-01-13
Abstract: A system for automatically optimizing a Field Development Plan (FDP) for an oil or gas field uses a fast analytic reservoir simulator to dynamically model oil or gas production from the entire reservoir over time in an accurate and rapid manner. An objective function defining a Figure of Merit (FoM) for candidate FDPs is maximized, using an optimization algorithm, to determine an optimized FDP in light of physical, engineering, operational, legal and engineering constraints. The objective function for the Figure of Merit, e.g., net present value (NPV) or total production for a given period of time, relies on a production forecast from the fast analytic reservoir simulator for the entire FDP. The position, orientation and dimensions of analytical model elements for the subsurface oil or gas field, as well as the physical properties associated with these elements, correlate to connected flow volume data from a Shared Earth Model (SEM). Uncertainty in the SEM is considered via stochastic sampling. In the presence of uncertainty, the optimum Field Development Plan (FoM) is selected by maximizing an objective function defining a risk-based Figure of Merit for the entire FDP.
